Treehugger has a reference to an article in the Toronto Star about Canadian Tire's new Canadian Tire Power initiative. Apparently they're making it a lot easier for people to generate their own power by offering products and information on their site. To this point Canadian Tire had been the only commercial outlet I knew of that carried wind turbines, inverters, and such, but it was never marketed at all. Well that's changed with this website. It looks like they're taking alternative energy considerably more seriously now. I hope it proves to be a profitable move, as it's still a risk getting into this market. I think the combination of products and information will help consumers make informed decisions about their own use of alternative energy sources.
